As per law he can dispose of all his property to anyone he likes. Legally u cant do anything. Talk to your sister and try to convince her for your share.

I agree with Ms. Tanu Yogendra Oza, your father, the title holder of the property can dispose it of as he desired. There is no legal impediment. However, amount spent on construction may be claimed by you from your father, which he (your father) may or may not return/pay to you. Again it is his wish, desire and own decision, legally you have can not have it.

Sort out the matter within family to avoid unnecessary litigation, otherwise, if you feel strong, you may engage a local lawyer for further advise and proceeding.

I agree with the above legal advise given by both the respected experts, i want to add don't make it an issue settle your matter amicably with your father and sister, talk wisely and takeout your money which you had spent in construction from them .
